That's strange. One of the main reasons for being issued a second passport is to be able to travel if one is locked up in a visa or renewal procedure. At least that's what it states in the letter from my employer I have to show when i renew mine. (I have done what the OP intends to do several times, although not with a British passport)

 

I can't speak for UK procedures. But if you have to send them both in at renewal, it would undermine the main point of being issued dual passports in the first place.

Also, section 3 does not mention this exact situation. It lists expired passports, passports included as a child, and passports from other countries.

 

It does cover this see section 3b, all uncancelled passports to be sent

A Has the person named in section 2 had any sort of passport (British or otherwise) or been included in any passport before? B You must send us all uncancelled passports with the application (say how many in the box). If the passports are lost or stolen, go to 3C.

Be careful i have posted links for applying from overseas, section 3 is important, you have to declare all current passports and according to section 3 THEY have to be sent with application, there was a poster on here about 2 months ago who sent his passport to the UK  and had a family member send the passport, (his passport only had a few weeks to run and not enough time in Thailand to do it) they would not process it until he sent his other UK passport, i would check with ukvi in Thailand if you have to send the second passport or if they would just copy, please let us know the outcome, do not lie and say you do not have another passport as they know you have.

Only happens on my mobile, so far not happening on my PC, i no longer look on my mobile you spend more time trying to get rid of it than read anything

If your insurance company will not sign the form, then you will have to get a Thai policy look at the tgia you mention.

The 40 000/ 400000 sums has now changed to  . for new 0-A visa 100 000 USD  to cover both inpatient/outpatient cover

• You would be better just using  a non o retirement  no insurance need  other than 10 000 USD cover required for the Thai Pass

Do not just put money into her account that will not be seen in a positive way, if you are providing the financial assistance then show your bank account

You gov says allow 11 weeks from Thailand, if it's a simple renewal, just follow instructions on link

Just a thought, has the poster accessed their bank account  in the last 2 years, i seem to remember on this forum, people stating that their bank accounts were closed to to inactivity after a year., it has been nearly 2 1/2 years since they were here. hopefully not the case here

I hold my breath, and wondering why you repeat yourself over and over with pure misinformation! 
 

I guess he guaranteed for her stay by signing the guarantee form? If so, I rest my case! 

There is NO guarantee form, there is no legal guarantee enforceable  by law,  Post your source that shows the poster is liable

Her legal reason to visit Uk is terminated, and it is your duty to inform UKVI, if not you can be held responsible. 
 

Good luck

Not true,  he has no responsibility at all . show your  source for this statement

Getting those extra bags at only 60 quid each is an absolute bargain ,will have to look at Finnair next time i travel from london

Is there anything apart from my marriage certificate i need to bring Thailand with us.

The Thai Embassy London is a no no.

Your UK marriage certificate will not be accepted by the Thai authorities, unless you have it legalized by the Thai embassy in London then have it translated and presented to  the MFA in Bangkok, only then you can register it at an amphur, only then will immigration accept it for any marriage extension of stay.

Nothing any agency can do unless they use false documents, then you will be in a world of pain

https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/81905-legalisation?menu=5d6636ce15e39c3bd0007344

If you married in the UK have you had your marriage legalized by the Thai embassy in London you need that done before you come here, once here you need things translated then signed off by MFA, that is if you want to stay in Thailand using the marriage route

Finnair  have on their website that anyone travelling on tourist visa this will include visa exempt, must have a return ticket, though a ticket leaving Thailand would be good enough 

Please be advised that as a leisure traveller, you must have a return or an onward ticket to another country before departure. Check our 'Travel requirements map' for details.

I have read about this visa but I am not clear about the qualifications and what you get in return.

What I read is:

1/ you need to have a yearly income of 80,000 USD/ year

2/ you need to have health insurance with minimum coverage of 50,000USD/ uear

3/ you need to 100,000USD minimum assets or in a bank account.

Is that correct?

That will give you a 10 years visa? What else? Can you work with this visa? Is it a 10 years visa but renewable every year?

Is there a minimum age to qualify?

 

I am 54 years old. Not married. My yearly income is above 80,000USD/ year (working contract but not in Thailand. My health insurance coverage is about 150,000USD/year.

Even if i own property in Thailand, they are not under my name but my son name.

Does it make me qualify?

 

The 10 year visa they are talking about, does not exist, they are still talking about it(and have been for years), and the 80 000usd is from a pension not working. the only 10 year visa available is the 0-X,  the other options are O-A or non O based on retirement, not sure if you can get a visa based on Thai child as they are 23, but worth looking at or there is the Thai elite https://www.thailandelite.com/

get the 10 year O-X visa, need to apply from home country though, nothing like the criteria they are talking about for this supposed new visa

https://thaiembdc.org/non-immigrant-visa-category-o-x-long-stay/

Just  a thought if you are a visitor then no issues, but if you have a work permit you need to have your passport stamped before you leave the immigration area (using the e gates shows you entering as a visitor), might seem petty but can be an issue years later when applying for ILR etc and needing to prove you were working(another forum has an Australian in this situation

This is only a small part of the retirement visa they are talking about, this has been in the pipeline for years and every 6 months or so  yet another little change is proposed, the fact is nothing is final yet, and they forgot to mention that not only to you need to meet the monthly/yearly pension, you also need to hold property or 250 000 in thai stocks, no mention how much your property has to be worth , the medical insurance has not been worked out, can you you a foreign policy and will it meet the wording of the visa or will you end up having to use a thai policy, the only thing that seemed any use was the proposal that you would not need to do 90 day reports, i doubt this visa will ever see the light of day, expect another revision in 6 months, and to cap it all it is only for 10 years. who in their right mind would invest in a property that you visa is only 10 years in length, and based on previous form ie 0-A visa what will they change during those 10 years?
